Comparing an earlier photo (from Speed on the Water) they've refined the hatch, changed the exhaust and some fresh paint to match the 'Twin Beaks' cat.
Edit, also a fair bit more windscreen to see out of......

It does look like a station wagon LOL. Not much you can do with it cut down so low and then having those big motors. Its not about the looks its about the speed !!!!!

Im guessing they just painted black around the windshield, cause that design is safer than larger openings.

The side scoops look like my boats! Cool

The new air induction system looks like it should be much more functional now. Hopefully it'll help with the drag and the aerodynamics.

Why wouldn't you use a digital MPH gauge for a more accurate readings to the tenths?
